Solve using the Quadratic Formula: x² + 6x + 8 = 0
To solve the quadratic equation using the Quadratic Formula, we start by identifying the coefficients a, b, and c:
a = 1
b = 6
c = 8
The Quadratic Formula is given by:
Step 1: Calculate the Discriminant
First, we calculate the discriminant D:
D = 36 - 32 = 4
Step 2: Apply the Quadratic Formula
Now we can substitute b, D, and a into the formula:
